Mr. Scot

Sort of... Coaches and GMs tend to function as a synthesis (similar to quarterbacks and receivers). Over the last few years, Fitterer was trying to get the kind of players Matt Rhule and his staff wanted (and that's not even addressing that he didn't have final say). So where you previously had Fitterer / Rhule, now you have Fitterer / Reich. Likewise you've gone from Snow to Evero, McAdoo to Brown, etc. That's one of the reasons for high turnover on previous draft picks, i.e. guys that were taken in order to suit systems that are no longer in place. You have to take all those dynamics into account when you're looking at the resorts. I seriously doubt Fitterer is in any danger after this season, but going forward what will determine his future as much or perhaps more so than anything else is how well he works with Frank Reich.

Without Travis Hunter...

Yeah, that's not the only thing being said. Besides people suggesting that Young is already a bust, you've got people saying they already know Reich is a failed hire, the staff is terrible, everybody needs to be fired and the team needs to be sold and yada yada yada. It all boils down to people reacting with their emotions rather than their brains, and frankly it's childish. Wouldn't bet on that happening either.

So what should we do? Blow it all up If we don't win it all this year? You know better than that. I'd agree. Said it before, the only thing I want to see this season is improvement. Talk to me about having expectations next year.

Again, not what it's about. I wasn't expecting to make the playoffs this year. Can't honestly say I care whether we do or not. What I can say is that making long-range predictions about what kind of team we're going to be, how good our head coach is, how good our new quarterback is, etc after just a couple of games is pretty silly. That's the point.

Ouch...

He's not saying we're going to win, or even that we're going to be good. He's saying that it's silly to overreact this soon. And he's right.

He's right.

No, I don't. And no, I won't...at least not this season. All I'm hoping for this year is improvement, especially towards the final few games of the year. Next season is when we can start talking about having higher expectations.

For the folks saying 0-2 is a big deal, congratulations. David Newton agrees with you. Darin Gantt? Not so much

I've been told me and Brad Pitt bear at least a passing resemblance 🫥

We don't? 🫥

Get the feeling Mike isn't exactly a big Sean Payton fan

Except they shouldn't... All you're really doing right now is trying to find an argument to justify being emotionally upset about losing. It's silly.

This?

More from Chandler Jones... I'm assuming "MD" is Mark Davis.

We're just two games into LaFleur without Aaron Rodgers too.

I don't see London, or France, or... nevermind I just see what's in my own personal sphere.

I've seen a lot of "well if it were we a rebuild they'd be doing this" type of logic (all of it extremely flawed) and people freaking out and panicking because of that. It was always going to be a foundation building year.

You were skeptical of 2021, but you're absolutely certain you know who and what we are based on two games into this year? Yeah, sure... I went into this season with no definitive expectations because I knew the kind of season we were looking at. A rebuild. This season is about building a foundation, getting our franchise QB adjusted to the pro level and hopefully learning a thing or two along the way. Any winning we do is just gravy. To anyone who went in expecting more than that, or especially expecting playoffs or some kind of strong push, I've called that unrealistic...and still do.

The Packers were almost a playoff team last year, and had been for several seasons before that. We're already in a different league from the Packers. As to tomorrow night, neither a wind nor will us is going to say anything definitive about what kind of team we are, regardless of people's confirmation bias.

Yeah, that's all an assumption, and one that I highly doubt is correct. They went after Young (per their own statements) because they believe and if you don't have the right quarterback, it doesn't matter how great a team you have around him. Reich's experience in Indianapolis pretty much reinforces that idea.

You referring to us or the Packers?
